GE Jazz projector headlight

[big_kev]

Hi Guys

My friend just got a set of GE jazz projector headlight. I want to buy a set as well so i want to see if anyone of you want them as well?? If you do,maybe we can do like a group buy kind of thing so i could ask them to sell it for cheaper. He got them for 2000RMB and the current exchange rate is 1AUD=5.9RMB. Let me know if any of you are interest,heres some pic of my friends light.

BTW, If anyone know where i could get for cheaper please let me know.

AU$340 seems decent, are there options to have HID bulbs and ballasts?

[johno2004]

Any ideas if you can get for the GD models as well?

[TypeG]

very nice

[big_kev]

I just orded mine..HID is only 230RMB as an option. Like i said,if i could get around 5+ people interested and buy together. We all get cheaper in price and also shipping as well.

Kinda jumping the gun ordering yours if you're wanting to do a group buy, don'tcha think? I'm keen can you please PM over some contact info. Won't be able to join the Oz GB as I'm in NZ but have a few people keen on something like this already.

[big_kev]

Coz i post this and no one reply so i thought no one interest. How many you after??? The manufacturer is in china,but i find that shipping from Hong Kong is so much cheaper. I will find out how much is to post from HK to NZ. PM me your email.

im getting mine very soon..once i install it i will post some pic..

[hks180]

is it possible i have a look at them before you install ? just want to see if it's a proper projector and not those just projector lens

By the look of it the new HID bulb is like a H1 or something ?!? so how about the high beam ?

anyway it would be great to check them out before the install ...Thanks mate ~~

From my understanding they're a projector upgrade for your stock H4 bulb, which has high and low in the same bulb. The HID upgrade (kev has already mentioned they're RMB230) would be a H4 HID which would have both high and low in one bulb. There are several methods for this and the latest and preferable is a bi xenon setup which uses a solenoid to control power to either of the 2 HID filaments contained in the single bulb.
The question is whether these are designed with proper housings for the heat created by HID bulbs. If the internal surface is plastic or a cheap metal it can melt or distort. This also causes additional problems if the seal gets damaged and water enters the housing.
As the Honda Jazz in Oceania is the same design as the JDM we can direct order many different types of headlights for our cars. I prefer this setup to the others as it's cleaner and looks like a retrofit of a projector housing into a stock Jazz headlamp.
The other projectors I referred to have separated the low and high bulbs and usually do a LED upgrade for the DRL or parking lights. Heaps on ebay australia here - http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=honda+fit+projector&_sacat=See-All-Categories

Really look forward to your install! I have some questions -
Did you get the HID upgrade? If so, does it have 2 filaments or a funky metal shroud for moving a mirror using magnets?
Is the projector housing made out of metal?
I see the turn indicator and parking light seem to be sealed with wires hanging out. More info and pics on this please.
Once installed, can you please take photos of both high and low projection towards a wall from about 15 feet (5M) away.

Yes i know exactly what you talking about .. I supply HID & LED in another forum ... so i know roughly how things works ..
And i'm asking the same question .. if it's just a projector lens in front of the H4 Hi/Lo bulb then .. personally i think it's bit of waste ..
But if it comes in a proper projector with housing (set up for bi-xenon) i would be very interested !

yes this set up is very clean .... not really into those one they selling at Ebay (with high & low beam separated)

Anyway it would be great to have closer look at this .. as i have done all the interior light , parkers & number plate ... all i want is proper HID for the headlight ..

Hey mate, how'd the install go? Updates? Pics? Keen to get some!

[hks180]

i have installed these for Kev last sunday ... the head light looks pretty good it's got proper bi-xenon (hi/lo HID) projector. Headlight is not perfect (fitment) but ok for aftermarket.

took around 3 hrs to install .... im happy to get one .... if we get enough people ..

Sorry guys..been very busy latly and dont have time to update..lights was pretty good. Like hks180 said, fitment is not perfect. Last week i went car lover to wash the car and try to see if any water will get into the lights using those high presure gun and turn out all good. Im very happy with it.

hks180: sorry man..didnt reply your msg..my gf is going to buyer a new car soon so she dont want to spend any money on it.

Fitment of aftermarket HID lights is actually illegal in Australia unless they are self leveling and self cleaning.
Beware! you can get an infringement notice.
You forgot to conceal your numberplate.
